The following script exports the current document as PDF using a PDF export preset:
--ExportPDF.as
--An InDesign CS22 AppleScript
--Assumes you have a document open
--export command parameters are:
--Format as (use either the pdf type enumeration or the string "Adobe PDF")
--To as string (you'll have to fill in a complete file path)
--Showing options as boolean (setting this option to true displays
--the PDF Export dialog box)
--Using as PDF export preset (or a string that is the name of a PDF export preset)
tell application "Adobe InDesign CS2"
tell active document
export format PDF type to "yukino:test.pdf" using "myTestPreset" without
end tell
end tell
